Dutch Potato Salad | Huzarensalade

If I were to make a potato salad, it would not be loaded up with mayo, nor would it be heavy as a brick. No. My picnic table would have something far more glorious: I would make this Dutch potato salad.

Let’s go to the Netherlands via Stovetop Travel. I love the country side myself… first stop? Let’s pick some potatoes.

Now, weigh and wash the farm off your potatoes. Place them in cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender.

Meanwhile, dice up the apples, gherkins, and ham steak. I’ve been told that vegetarians like to swap cheese for the ham.

Add everything to a large bowl, along with the parsley. Look at these beautiful colors.

Now to get it all mingled and happy, mix with the vinegar, mayo, salt and pepper. You can eat it just like this, but I highly recommend…

… turning this meal it into an epic dining phenomenon. To do so, lay down some lettuce around the edge of a large platter, slightly overlapping. Then spoon on a mound of potato salad. Finally, have fun decorating the edges with all manner of veggies. The more…

At lunchtime, let everyone make up their own plates and enjoy the casual fun of it.

Now that’s a happy potato salad.

Enjoy your Dutch picnic!
